THE UTILIZATION OF POWER ALCOHOL IN COMBINATION WITH NORMAL AND HEAVY FUELS IN HIGH SPEED DIESEL ENGINES

Abstract

Power Alcohol can be utilised in Diesel engines by being blended to the normally accepted Diesel fuels or preferably, it can be  carburetted. The report deals with the possibilities and limitations of these two methods in the light of the necessity to use a high percentage of Alcohol in combination with normal, or preferably, lower grade fuels, in high speed Diesel engines. Carburetion of Power Alcohol allows 60% of alcohol to be utilised with heavier types of fuels than usually accepted in high speed engines, and higher percentages are possible in combination with groundnut oil, and permits such engines to be over-loaded upto 40-45%.
